Grant CPL's special phonics collection
- Bob Books
- Hooked on Phonics

Phonics teaches children how letters and sounds work together, making it easier for them to sound out words while reading. This skill helps them become better readers, so they can understand stories and information more easily.

Today is the start of Early Voting at the Grant County Public Library! Any registered and eligible voter can vote early today, tomorrow, and Saturday.

A few more reminders:

☑️ Candidates in uncontested races will not appear on the ballot until the November 3rd, 2026 General Election.

☑️ Kentucky is a closed primary state. You can only vote for candidates that are the same party as you. Only Democrats and Republicans can vote in this Primary. If you are an independent or are registered in a different party, there are no candidates in which to choose.

☑️ If you changed your party after the December 31st, 2025 deadline, you are ineligible to vote in either party’s primary.

☑️ Bring your Photo ID! Driver’s licenses are the most efficient form of ID.

☑️ To check your registration, you can go to govote.ky.gov.

Thematically paired fiction and nonfiction titles are designed to bridge learning-to-read and reading-to-learn. Animated classic storybooks introduce early learners to the delights of reading while sparking curiosity, creating a natural springboard into the paired nonfiction text for deeper discovery.
